Tóm tắt

One of the reasons for the rapid growth in the application of polymer composites is the opportunity they provide for the design and construction of composite structures that are especially resistant to losses of strength or reduced life resulting from damage during service. The usefulness of such materials is enhanced by the variety of reinforcement schemes that can be chosen to reflect specific service conditions. Under cyclic loading and demanding mechanical situations (e.g., helicopter parts, vehicle springs and high-speed rotors), polymer composites are considerably superior to competing materials.
